Amethyst - Natural amethyst is known for its calming and relaxing properties, making it one of the best, if not the number one crystal for managing stress. You can place the crystal under your pillow or in your bedroom to help calm and soothe your energy if anxiety keeps you up at night Sodalite - Often referred to as “the Stone of Peace," Sodalite is said to help calm the mind and ease panic attacks. If you've been feeling anxious in any way, tuck this royal blue beauty in your purse or pocket, as it carries a comforting energy that is helpful in preventing us from becoming overly wound up and emotional. Having trouble expressing yourself? Sodalite is also believed to stimulate self-confidence and aid in self-expression, so keep it close any time you're feeling nervous about sharing your thoughts and ideas with others. Howlite - Lack of sleep is one of the largest contributing factors to feeling stressed. If you’re experiencing problems falling asleep at night, try tucking a white Howlite under your pillow, as it’s calming energy is believed to help with insomnia especially when the root cause is an overactive mind.
